The whole speech was surreal. Even Muslims believe in personal charity! But it drives me crazy that he can get away with saying Christ meant charity to be distributed by the government! “Render to Caesar” implied no return on the investment, no distribution of Roman funds to care for the sick & poor. I hope someone’s preparing to rip this heresy to shreds, preferably a bishop. (I can dream, can’t I?)
“Render to Caesar”

what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s...
Ceasar Barry reads FR so he sent some plants to a meeting that the LORD Jesus Christ was having...
“Teacher,” they said, “we know that you speak and teach what is right and are not influenced by what others think. You teach the way of God truthfully. Now tell us—is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
The LORD Jesus Christ saw through their trickery and said, “Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped on it?”
“Caesar Barry’s,” they replied.
“Well then,” He said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
So Barry failed to trap Him by what He said in front of the people. Instead, Barry and his cohorts were amazed by His answer, and they became silent.

Could happen. The bishops are pretty ticked at him, as they should be.
